This document discusses nonverbal communication and its key characteristics. It explains that nonverbal communication includes silent behaviors, environment, artifacts, and vocal intonation. Some main points are:
- All behavior has communicative value, even if unintended. Nonverbals especially matter when they contradict words.
- Nonverbal communication is primarily relational, reflecting things like power dynamics, intimacy levels between individuals, and cultural norms around things like space, touch and eye contact.
- Nonverbal signals can be ambiguous and open to multiple interpretations. Context is important for understanding nonverbal messages.
This document discusses nonverbal communication and its characteristics. Some key points include:
- Nonverbal communication includes silent behaviors, environment, artifacts, and vocal intonation. It is a powerful mode of communication.
- All behavior has communicative value, and nonverbal communication is primarily relational, reflecting things like power dynamics, liking, and cultural values around space, touch, and eye contact.
- Nonverbal communication is ambiguous, as the same gestures or expressions can have multiple meanings. It also interacts and provides context to verbal communication.
- Different types of nonverbal communication include facial expressions, body language, touch, paralanguage, silence, space, time, physical appearance, and environmental artifacts.

Non-verbal communication conveys messages without words through body language like posture, gestures, facial expressions and use of space. There are several types of non-verbal communication such as kinesics (body movement), proxemics (use of space) and paralanguage (voice qualities). Kinesics includes posture, hand movements and facial expressions which can indicate emotions and states like confidence, defensiveness and dejection. Proxemics involves personal space and territoriality. Paralanguage consists of vocal qualities such as pitch and voice that help identify individuals. Non-verbal signals are important in communication as they provide additional meaning beyond words.
The document discusses various aspects of body language and non-verbal communication. It covers topics such as personal space and territorial boundaries that differ between intimate, social, and public situations. Cultural differences in perception of personal space are also mentioned. Body language can reveal one's true feelings that may be obscured by words alone. Misinterpreting body language signals can potentially lead to trouble, conflict, and legal issues between individuals and groups. Overall, the document stresses the importance of understanding body language cues and how perceptions can differ between cultures or situations.
The document discusses various aspects of body language and non-verbal communication. It covers topics such as personal space and territorial distances both between intimate partners and in social settings. It also discusses how body language can differ across cultures and the "masks" people wear in public versus private situations. The document cautions that misinterpreting body language signals can lead to issues like conflicts, assumptions, and even legal trouble. Overall, the document stresses the importance of understanding body language cues and how messages can be obscured or clarified through non-verbal behaviors.
This document defines non-verbal communication and discusses its importance. Non-verbal communication represents two-thirds of all communication and includes body language, paralanguage, spatial distance, vocal sounds, self-presentation, and more. There are five main types of non-verbal communication: kinesics, paralanguage, spatial usage, vocal interference, and self-presentation cues. Non-verbal communication plays a crucial role in conveying emotions and regulating conversation flow.
This document discusses nonverbal communication and provides an outline of the topic. It defines nonverbal communication as communication without words that involves sending and receiving wordless messages. It notes that verbal and nonverbal communication are interconnected and operate together. Some key points made include:
- Nonverbal communication accounts for 65% of daily interactions while verbal is 35%
- There are intentional and unintentional forms of nonverbal communication
- Common forms of nonverbal communication include eye contact, facial expressions, and posture.

- The document discusses different cultural norms and expectations around personal space and territory, ranging from intimate to public distances. It notes that boundaries for personal space can vary significantly across different cultures.
- Body language such as eye contact, facial expressions, positioning, and clothing choices send signals about inclusion, interest, and social roles. However, these signals can easily be misinterpreted, especially across cultural lines.
- Misinterpreting body language signals can lead to troubles in relationships, business dealings, and legal issues due to making wrong assumptions about others' intentions or meanings. Understanding cultural differences and directly communicating is important to avoid issues caused by misinterpreted body language.
Non-verbal communication such as body language, gestures, eye contact, and proxemics account for 65% or more of social meaning according to anthropologists. Non-verbal communication includes physical cues like facial expressions, tone of voice, body motions, as well as symbolic cues like religious symbols. Specific non-verbal behaviors and cues include gestures, eye contact, posture, touching, and use of space, time, smell, and voice tones. Being aware of non-verbal communication helps build confidence and avoid misunderstandings.
This document discusses non-verbal communication and body language. It explains that body language, gestures, facial expressions, and other non-verbal cues account for a large portion of communication. Specific types of body language discussed include kinesics (gestures and expressions) and paralanguage (tone of voice and other auxiliary cues). The document also explores how body language is used to convey emotions, personality, confidence, stress, and other states, as well as how it can indicate deception. Cultural differences in body language are also addressed.
The document discusses different types of personal space and territories in interpersonal interactions, such as intimate, personal, social, and public distances, and how invading someone's space can make them feel troubled, defensive, or aggressive. It also covers nonverbal communication signals like eye contact, body language, facial expressions, and how cultural differences and misinterpretations of these signals can potentially lead to conflicts, wrong assumptions, legal trouble, or general confusion in professional and social settings. Effective communication requires understanding and properly interpreting the nonverbal cues and boundaries in interpersonal exchanges.

Nonverbal communication (Source: Beyond Language by Deena R Levine)rwindriani13
This document discusses nonverbal communication and how it varies across cultures. It notes that nonverbal communication, such as facial expressions, gestures, eye contact and physical space, conveys over 90% of messages. However, the meanings of nonverbal cues differ significantly between cultures. For example, behaviors seen as friendly in one culture, such as embracing, may be inappropriate in another. The document stresses the importance of understanding cultural norms for nonverbal communication to avoid misinterpretations.
Mary Lamas gave a presentation at the GRETA Annual Conference on using drama activities to teach English. Some key points included:
- Drama activities help improve students' self-confidence, sociability, pronunciation, fluency, intonation, stress patterns, rhythm, and communication strategies while also conveying cultural aspects.
- Drama can be integrated at any stage of learning to practice challenging grammar points or consolidate topic areas, and provides an opportunity for students to have fun.
- Activities can take place anywhere, including the classroom, assembly hall, outdoors, or online, and can include short sketches, speeches, performances, or musicals.
- Practicing pronunciation through activities like breathing exercises, working
This document defines and provides examples of different types of communication:
- Intrapersonal communication occurs within one's self as thoughts and feelings.
- Interpersonal communication occurs between two people and establishes personal relationships, such as giving feedback or comfort to others.
- Small group communication involves 3-12 people discussing to achieve a goal, like an organizational meeting or group project.
- Public communication requires delivering a message to a larger audience, through means like speeches, debates, or presentations.
- Mass communication reaches broad audiences through media like television, newspapers, or the internet.

This document provides guidance for reading to young deaf or hard of hearing children. It discusses best practices such as using active engagement strategies, visual aids, American Sign Language, role shifting, and wait time. Choosing high quality children's books that connect to the child's experiences and developing activities to expand learning after reading are also covered. Resources for additional activities and developing early literacy skills are recommended.
This document discusses techniques for teaching English as a foreign language. It outlines how using imagination, listening, speaking, reading and writing skills can motivate and challenge students in a fun way. It recommends focusing on pronunciation, social interaction and using teaching aids. It also suggests using dialogue, gestures, facial expressions, repetition and dramatization when teaching and to structure lessons with a beginning, middle and end. The document concludes by listing the names of two teachers.
The document discusses gender and language from several perspectives. It begins by distinguishing between sex, which refers to biological differences, and gender, which refers to culturally constructed roles and expectations. It notes that gender boundaries are conceptual rather than physical. The document then examines gender stereotypes and roles, as well as how language differs between men and women in terms of pronunciation, intonation, grammar, vocabulary and conversational styles. Finally, it analyzes gender bias and asymmetries in the English language.
This document discusses communicating appropriately based on relationships and situations. It defines intimate communication styles used within close families and friend groups, using personal language and terms of endearment. As an activity, students will work in groups to create short dialogues between a student and their parent, friend, or teacher to celebrate an academic achievement, demonstrating the different communication styles. They will then answer questions individually about the formality of each conversation and how relationships influence communication. The assignment is to read a selection called "Auld Lang Syne."
Women and men use language differently. Women tend to use hedges, tag questions, intensifiers and polite forms more, while men swear more and are more direct. There are also differences in conversational styles, with women using more rapport talk and men using more problem-solving talk. Perceptions of language can also differ by gender, with terms like "chairman" and "fireman" seen as male-oriented. In mixed-gender classrooms, teachers may interact more with boys, who can dominate discussions, while girls receive more academically useful attention. The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis also suggests that the language we use shapes our thoughts in particular ways. In conclusion, while generalizations about gender differences in
This document discusses language and power in verbal and nonverbal communication. It identifies four categories of power: practical, knowledge/ideas, position, and personal. It also discusses how power is encoded in conversations through status markers like agenda-setting, turn-taking, forms of address, phatic talk or small talk, and utterance types. Phatic talk, while not relevant to the core topic, plays an important role in establishing relationships and can be used strategically in conversations to influence the power dynamic.

Rudolph Basson: Support or punish – reconsidered approaches to drug related h...SACAP
Harm Reduction acknowledges that drug use occurs and is potentially damaging, and attempts
to reduce and prevent these harms in ways, which are pragmatic and humanistic. Although the
harm reduction approach and specific harm reduction interventions (including needle and
syringe programmed and methadone programmed) have been implemented with resounding
success internationally (including in a number of African countries) for more than 20 years, the
South African approach to substance use and substance-related harms is still largely informed
by the doctrine and strategies of the "War on Drugs", and focuses almost exclusively on
prohibition and punishment. Because of the strong link between drug use and poverty, different
policy approaches to poverty and homelessness must also be considered. My talk will critically
examine these two approaches to drug use, poverty, and displacement (support or punish), as
they are being implemented in Cape Town. Opportunity for discussion will be provided.
Andre le Roux – How do families survive gambling addiction?SACAP
Families function within functional systems. They generate their own rules, roles and responsibilities. Gambling addiction is progressive and not only affects the addict but everyone they relate and connect to. The primary route to their gambling is finances and this basically means that family, friends, work and strangers get hooked into the world of the gambling addiction.
This presentation provides clarity to recognise the gambling problem, gain perspective and change from the old patterns that developed as the gambling addiction was progressing.
Thriving in the face of adversity – responding to a bereaved childSACAP
The document discusses how to help children cope with loss through death or other traumatic events. It emphasizes the importance of strengthening the caregiver-child relationship, providing stability through routines, and allowing children to communicate about their feelings. Specific techniques mentioned for facilitating communication include memory boxes, life story activities, feeling wheels, drawings, and storybooks about death. The document stresses that even very young children can be affected by trauma and loss, so caregivers should normalize feelings, address fears, and involve children in rituals to recognize the loss.
This document discusses panic disorder and presents a therapeutic model using the story of Little Red Riding Hood. It explains that individuals with panic disorder are operating from their "child aspect" without access to their rational "adult" perspectives. The model uses projective storytelling to identify unconscious beliefs and dynamics. Stories are analyzed to reveal themes like confusion between conditional and unconditional love. A 6-phase technique then helps reprocess these patterns by introducing the "missing characters" of Mother, Father and Woodcutter to restore balance and provide new insights and tools for the individual. The goal is to lift panic by helping the inner child find solutions and support through a reconstructed "happy ending."
An unusually high percentage of famous writers, poets, composers and artists have suffered from bipolar mood disorder. This presentation goes in depth.

The document discusses the relationship between language and culture/society in 3 main points:
1) Language is intrinsically tied to culture and thinking - when we learn language, we learn the associated beliefs and perspectives of the culture.
2) The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis suggests that language influences thought and culture, though it does not fully explain their formation. Other researchers see language and culture evolving together through diffusion and assimilation.
3) Cross-cultural communication requires recognizing linguistic differences between cultures while also finding common ground, like in trade, to facilitate understanding between groups.
This document provides an overview of speech act theory and pragmatics. It discusses how speech act theory attempts to explain how speakers use language to accomplish intended actions and how hearers infer intended meaning. It also explores how speech acts are used in social interactions and how they vary across cultures. The document defines key concepts like speech acts, illocutionary forces, performatives, and pragmatics. It examines how speech acts are classified and embedded in daily conversation through discourse routines and speech events like genres.

Marriage of speech, vision and natural language processingYaman Kumar
Speech generally is considered to have three parts to it: vision, aural, and the social construct. In recent years, although the field has been moving at a dramatic pace, progress is being made in silos. The primary reason for this being that speech is considered "spoken text" by practitioners and researchers alike. Most open-source datasets due to their distance from real-world conditions help in spreading this false impression. In this condition, it is not surprising that common and important features of speech like intonation and disfluency do not get captured by this intent. This tutorial aims to provide an appreciation of the "full-stack" of speech - aural, vision and the textual (or social construct) parts with a special emphasis on aspects that may have significance for current and future research.
The document discusses emergent literacy, language, and literacy. It defines emergent literacy as the process where children develop literacy skills from birth to age 6 in informal ways. Key aspects of emergent literacy discussed include: it being child-centered, developing through social environments, involving scaffolding, and including reading, writing, speaking, and listening. The document also discusses blended literacy, which integrates technology into the classroom. Examples of emergent literacy activities provided include read alouds, environmental print, centers, writing, and interacting with books. Theories behind emergent literacy mentioned include linguistics, psycholinguistics, information processing, and sociolinguistics.
This document discusses strategies for improving English listening skills. It explains that learners often cannot hear words they don't know, distinguish sounds, or process meaning quickly enough. The document recommends activities to improve listening such as having students predict content from pictures or situations. It also suggests teaching language that learners are likely to hear in context using listening activities and recycling words, chunks, and conversations to help learners recognize and hear language automatically.
This document discusses communication skills, including listening skills and body language. It provides tips for active listening, such as listening intentionally, without assumptions, and for understanding. Body language conveys much nonverbal meaning, with over 50% of emotional messages communicated this way according to research. Specific body language signals are described, like eye contact, posture and gestures, which can have cultural interpretations. Overall the document emphasizes the importance of communication skills like listening and interpreting body language correctly.
Linguistics is the scientific study of language. It involves studying many aspects of language including its history, sound system, structure, meaning and how it is acquired. A linguistics course would cover topics such as morphology, syntax, phonetics, phonology, semantics, pragmatics, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics and historical linguistics. Studying linguistics provides valuable skills in logical thinking, problem solving, communication and understanding human behavior that are useful for a wide range of careers. Students find linguistics courses fascinating as they learn about language development and the workings of their own and other languages.
The document discusses communicative competence and its related concepts. It begins by defining communicative competence based on Chomsky's distinction between competence and performance. Hymes later expanded on this idea by arguing that communicative competence involves sociocultural factors and the ability to convey and interpret messages within specific contexts. The document then discusses basic interpersonal communicative skills versus cognitive/academic language proficiency. It also covers the different components of communicative competence including grammatical, sociolinguistic, discourse, strategic, and organizational competence. The document goes on to define language functions and pragmatic concepts such as locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary acts. It also discusses notions related to pragmatics, discourse analysis,

Interpersonal communication presentation non verbal communication Genesis Ramírez
This document discusses principles of nonverbal communication. It covers several key points:
1) Nonverbal communication includes visual-auditory codes like kinesics, physical appearance, facial expressions, and paralanguage. It also regulates conversation flow and is often more believable than words.
2) Nonverbal communication can conflict with verbal statements, creating "mixed messages." Different codes include space, touch, and use of time.
3) Cultural variations must be considered, as meanings differ across cultures. Interpreting nonverbal behavior requires context and checking assumptions.
This document provides an overview of discourse analysis as a research method. It discusses what constitutes a discourse, including language-in-use and how form and function are related. Context is important to discourse analysis. The document also examines speech acts, discourse structure using examples, and differences between spoken and written discourse. It notes some complications that can arise in analyzing unstructured spoken interaction versus more structured settings.
This document provides an overview of the field of linguistics and why it is worth studying. It does this through a series of questions about language that are answered using different subfields of linguistics, such as semantics, syntax, phonetics, and language acquisition. The document demonstrates how linguistics can provide insights into language variation over time, irregular spelling patterns, sentence structure, meaning, grammar, and the human ability to acquire language from a young age. It also discusses career opportunities related to studying linguistics and examples of linguistics course content and structures.
Non-verbal communication involves conveying information without words through facial expressions, gestures, body language, appearance, and other means. It has advantages like providing clarity, reducing time wasted, and allowing communication when speaking is not possible, though meanings can vary across cultures. Some types of non-verbal communication include facial expressions, gestures, tone of voice, proxemics, eye gaze, haptics, and appearance. People can improve non-verbal skills through awareness of their own body language, practicing varied facial expressions, using appropriate gestures, modulating their tone of voice, observing others, and developing empathy.
This document provides an overview of key concepts in linguistics, including definitions of language, properties of language like arbitrariness and duality of patterning, the origin of language, and methods of classifying languages. It discusses language as a system of arbitrary symbols used for communication, and outlines properties like displacement and creativity. The functions of language are described, including as a means of expression and communication. Theories on the origin of language incorporate both natural and divine explanations. Languages can be classified geographically, genetically based on ancestry, or typologically based on structural features.
Nonverbal communication conveys over 60% of messages and comes in many forms. It includes proxemics (personal space), haptics (touch), chronemics (time), kinesics (body language), artifacts (appearance), vocalics (paralanguage), and environment. Nonverbal behaviors can repeat, substitute, complement, accent, regulate, or contradict verbal communication. An understanding of nonverbal cues can improve our interactions and relationships with others.
This document discusses listening as a communication skill. It defines listening as an active process of interpretation that involves receiving, constructing meaning, negotiating meaning with the speaker, and creating meaning through involvement. The document outlines various contexts, purposes, types and stages of listening. It also discusses impediments to effective listening and strategies to improve listening skills, including bottom-up and top-down processing approaches.
The document provides definitions and explanations of various vocabulary-related terms. It begins by outlining learning objectives around developing vocabulary skills like using context clues, note-taking on word research, and using vocabulary precisely. It then defines and distinguishes terms like core language, variety, dialect, jargon, code, vernacular, slang, pidgin, lingo, and patois. Examples and explanations are provided for concepts like Kachru's three circles of English, idioms, collocations, fixed expressions, and metaphorical idioms involving parts of the body. The document emphasizes learning vocabulary in context and as chunks or multi-word units rather than individual words.

Karolyne Williams: A coaching way of being for non-coachesSACAP
Drawing from a coaching way of being, there are simple orientations and skills that anyone
can practice to improve their interactions with those around them. This approach is
congruent with increasing your own potential as a leader. This short talk aims to ignite your
own thinking about how you can best develop those around you.
Change! We can hate it. Love it. Ignore it. Or embrace it!
However you may feel about change and how you choose to handle it, does not change it!
Change is coming! It’s the one consistency in our lives we can count on.
What will you do, that allows change to impact and empower your vision positively?
Co-dependents grow up never having learned how to be themselves, or even what their true
identity really is. In adulthood this causes them to become over-identified with other people,
particular roles, jobs or professions. They basically focus on others problems to avoid having to
look at their own stuff. They try to change others – they are those who are heard saying: “I’d be
all right if only everybody else would change”. This talk gets to the heart of what this very
misunderstood process addiction is about.
The talk will look at the means by which we understand our own change opportunities and
ensure that they fit well with those of others and of organisations.
Self-awareness is key here and a desire to understand others equally to ensure that change is
positive and continuous.
Phumeza Nobhongoza: The traveller’s journey to discoverySACAP
In this poem, Phumeza narrates a journey of a traveller to discover his lost treasure.
All of a sudden, the traveller who was born purposeful finds himself in a hopeless space in life.
The traveller in his vulnerability and desperation, discovers through a mirror (the coach), that it
is not the search of treasure that he must engage in (external journey) to get his treasure back
but the search of himself (internal journey) as he finds himself he has found the treasure,
because the treasure was within him all along.
